It's an original show, not based on manga, game or novel so it doesn't have an established fanbase; the story is written by a westerner, the character designs are out of anime standard, etc, etc. It'll make better sales in US and Europe.

If it gets that far. But anyway, that explains a few things. I'm enjoying it, it's refreshingly different.

Same opinion here. Its not good nor exactly imaginative but it delivers it purpouse for me, that is entertainment

Syuzo, Shuzo, Syuuzou, or Shuuzou, but not Shuzou.

We should just switch the people DB to the Japanese, kanji, hiragana, etc.

Romaji is for suckers.

The official website of the anime indicates that the new director is Sato Eiichi (the director of "Kiss Dum: Engage Planet").

yeah, never touching this anime now...

My thoughts exactly....and I was thinking of giving it a shot eventually, since I'm not watching much at the moment anyway, but now....gah (Remembers being excited about Kissdum, only to quit after the horrible first two episodes)
